[END OF COMMENTS] 0 0 0 August 25, 2004 Town of Vail Public Works Department Subject: Vail Resorts' Lionshead Core Redevelopment Site Plan 1. Please provide turning movements for the loading/delivery area to verify adequate horizontal clearance for movements for SU-30, W13-40 & W13-50 vehicles (1 WB-50, 2 WB-40's, 5 SU- 30'sB-40's) 2. Please provide a loading dock use/management plan. 3. How will Lionsquare Lodge deliveries occur? Show delivery truck turning movements to their parking lot. 4. It is assumed that charter buses will enter the loading dock for this project? 5. Are there valet spots in the port cochere? If so, place all vehicles in the port cochere location and show the Fire Dept turnaround and van turning movements. 6. Provide a grading plan of the mall showing proposed grading from existing buildings/doorways to the proposed building edges (cross slopes, spot elevations and drainage patterns). 7. The streetscape plan shows the much of the planters, benches, and trash cans in front of retail windows. This doesn't seem appropriate. The streetscape, specifically across from Montawk will be stark. This is a resort village, ski racks and bike racks should also be shown. The light fixtures should be to scale showing the amount of physical space they encompass. 8. How does the streetscape gateway/arch at the E Lionshead mall interface with special event banner locations. 9. How does the streetscape function for special events, show a typical special event layout for the mall and ski yard. 10. Easements will be required for fire hydrants, staging areas, utilities, storm drainage system, street lights, public roadways and sidewalks and any other public amenity outside of public right of way. 11. The underground streetscape utility corridors will need to have space to adequately handle a utility trench similar to Vail Village. 12. Locate new utilities to minimize disturbance to existing landscape, trees and planters (Lionshead Place cul-de-sac, around the pocket park at the north end of the mall). 13. Provide a complete Auto-turn drive thru (in both directions) of an adjusted streetscape plan for the mall for both the Vail fire truck and a WB-40 (parade vehicle). Use the swept path for the Auto- turn vs. wheel path to provide a more accurate clearance. Once the path is established, provide a 2' buffer on either side for an acceptable clearance. Previous plans had shown a 20' wide continuous path thru. The set dated 8/16/04 has a varying width (17' wide in the NE corner of the mall) and the curve around the west side of the ice rink seating is now a tight reverse curve that appears too tight for a fire truck. 14. The proposed design for the pocket park at the north end of the mall does not work for fire access to the buildings to the north. The existing park was designed to accommodate fire staging with a reinforced grass surface. 15. The screen fence for the transformer in the NW corner of the mall appears to be encroaching in the fire lane path. 16. A 10' wide path needs to be maintained along the alley of the west side of the mall and continuous to the Gore Creek path and along Lionshead Place up to W Lionshead Circle. 17. The cul-de-sac at the end of Lionshead Place needs to be resolved; private street, maintain cul-de- sac or some other alternative. If it is to be a private street, provide design starting at W Lionshead Circle establishing how Lionshead Place will appear private. Also if private, there will need to be a plan for an interim location for skier drop off until North Day Lot is completed. If Lionshead Place is to remain public, site generated traffic from the valet operation needs to be included in calculations. k • 0 18. Remove the proposed gate at the entrance to the west portal, or it should be designed in a matter that it is fixed open and can not be closed so egress from the mall out of the west portal is not impeded. 19. The plan needs to show all architectural projects, lights, signs, etc. 20. The Lionshead masterplan contemplates a park, is the ice rink meeting this need. How is the need met in the summer? 21. The Lionshead masterplan shows the bike path relocated south of the Eagle Bahn. This should be investigated to make the ski yard not so bisected in the summer. If for some reason this can not be relocated, the path around the Eagle Bahn should be increased to 12' in width to allow for greater safety between the path users and ski yard users, also increase the radius of the path as the north- south section ties into the east-west section (NE of the Eagle Bahn). 22. The walk along the north side of Lionsquare Lodge should be rebuilt, and heated, connecting the ski yard with the Lionshead Place walk. Drainage Study 1. A final drainage study is required. 2. Easements will be required where the new storm drain system encroaches onto private property. 3. Are the existing lines from the pocket park and from the area near Bart & Yetis to be abandoned? If no, show inverts into the new inlets and the storm drain system that will be under future heated pavers should be replaced. 4. All roof and planter drains should be tied into the storm drain system. 5. Show the location of garage drainage outfalls/tie-ins with sand/oil separator locations. Traffic Study 1. A revised traffic study is required incorporating comments from the previous iteration dated May 2004 2. Traffic impact fee of $5,000 per net pm peak increase. Art in Public Places 1. Art in Public Places is to be incorporated 2. Item 12. Public Art. Item 12 says that VA will fund public art in conjunction with the development. Could they please define this further? AIPP encourages integrated artwork as outlined in our Strategic Plan. The AIPP Strategic Plan can be viewed online at www.vailaov.com and follow the arts and culture link. AIPP would like to view not only the initial proposed conceptual plan but have the opportunity to make recommendations and meet with artists. AIPP would encourage recognizable images that can be repeated on items throughout the core site and Lionshead. Street furnishings such as benches, street light and planters all have the potential for art or to be designed by an artist. The Art in Public Places program would like to advise VA regarding contributions to public art elsewhere in Lionshead. 0 0 0 August 25, 2004 Town of Vail Fire Department Comments Core Site Hotel Project 1. Fire access to the main entry must be resolved. 2. Streetscape / landscape / build-to lines, etc. shall not occlude or reduce approved fire department access to existing buildings. 3. Engineered drawings for fire water mains need to be submitted. 4. Fire access on the northside east corner across from the Lifthouse Lodge, aka Montauk / Bart & Yettes appears to have conflicting designs between fire access plan, landscaping, and streetscaping. 0 • • • June 13, 2004 TO: Dwight Henninger Chief of Police FROM: Bruce Ramm Security Design Concepts SUBJECT: Lionshead Core Area Redevelopment The following are my observations and recommendations based upon a review of the architectural plans for this redevelopment project. Parking Garage The parking garage contains numerous elevators and stairways including several locations for owner's storage and retail/hotel storage. An overall concern is security of persons and vehicles in a garage which is typically not under constant surveillance by users of the property. 1. Parking Restrictions Who can park in the garage? Will there be controlled access such as a cardreader? If there is controlled access, is there enough "stacking distance" on the garage ramps to keep cars from backing out into the street or the dock area? How will the police gain access if it is controlled electronically (ie. Knox Box keyswitch)? 2. Elevators Elevator lobbies and doors to these lobbies should be glass in order to provide surveillance into this space and also allow users entering this area to see into it before actually opening a door. Building codes allow glass walls for parking garage elevator lobbies. 3. Stairways All stairway doors should have a glass window, 10" x 10", as allowed by the building code. This will provide users of the stairway to see into the stairs before entering them. Provide convex mirrors inside the stairways for persons to see around the corner. 4. Lighting The parking and walking surface should have a minimum maintained 1.25 footcandles of light using a vandal resistant fixture (polycarbonate lenses). Stairways should have a 0 0 minimum maintained two-footcandles of light using a vandal resistant fixture. Both parking garage walls/ceilings and stairway enclosures should be painted a light color to reflect the light. 5. North end/East side stairway There is a stairway that extends from the second level parking garage to the second level of the building (retail space). Doors are located along the stairway at all floors except the first floor parking garage. It is unclear the purpose of the stairway as there are no exit corridors or exterior doors directly associated with it. On the building's first floor, the stairway accesses directly into the nightclub space. The second floor it accesses a corridor behind retail uses. By appearances and function, it seems to be only an internal stairway and not meant for emergency exiting. This arrangement has some significant problems because it is basically a back stairway, taking people along a route that will probably be used infrequently and thus lacking in natural surveillance. It is also an excellent escape route for committing a crime in the garage. Why would the stairway directly access a nightclub space? Is this planned to be an entry location? Will there be any type of camera surveillance in the stairways? Are the stairways planned to be controlled by either locking them or having an access control system installed? What is the purpose of this stairway? 6. East side/South end stairway There is an emergency exit stairway which goes from the second level garage to the first level of the building and can be accessed off of the two garage levels. It terminates just outside the Childrens' Ski School on the first level of the building. This exterior door should be kept locked from the outside at all times, only allowing exiting out of the stairway. Additionally, do not install any handles on the exterior of the first floor door. Owner Storage Rooms On the second level of the parking garage are two rooms designated for Owner Storage. How will access to the rooms be controlled (key/access control system/security personnel)? What type of locking devices are on the individual storage units and also what is the type of material used to construct these units? Will the door to these storage rooms be under camera surveillance and record who enters this space? Residential Exit Stairway-First Floor On the South side, west end by the restaurant, is an exterior door to the stairway which goes from this level to the second and third floor residential spaces, then to the fourth floor pool area. It is an emergency exit and the first floor door should be kept locked at all times, only allowing exiting out of the stairway. Additionally, do not install any handles on the exterior of the first floor door. 0 • Residential/Mechanical Room Stairway-First Floor On the West side, south end at the hotel lobby driveway entrance, is an exterior door to two different stairways. One is from the first and second floor garage area, servicing the Mechanical Room on the first floor and employee areas on the second garage level. The other stairway, which meets this garage stairway, services the second and third floor residential units. There is an interior stairway door, at the first building floor level, which should be kept locked at all times from interior residential stairway. The exterior door to both of these stairways should be kept locked at all times, only allowing exiting out of the stairway. Additionally, do not install any handles on the exterior of the first floor door. Night Club Placing the night club, which is on the first floor of the building in the northeast corner, is going to create a fairly intense entertainment zone since directly across the walkway is an arcade. This location is going to be filled with pedestrians, both traveling from place to place and hanging around outside these establishments. Typically night clubs have their guests wait in a line outside the entrance. This is due to a crowding problem inside where the club has to wait until guests leave before admit more people. Crowd control could definitely be an issue outside the night club. Use of stanchions and ropes along with "trained" security personnel can usually kept the outside crowd from becoming a problem. This is a location where extra police patrol will be required. • • PLANNING and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT September 10, 2004 Mr. George Ruther, Chief of Planning Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 RE: Core Site Submittal Dear George: Enclosed you will find our revised submittal for Vail Resort's Core Site project. T1,C revised plan set prepared by 42/40 and other members of our design team addresscs the majority of the items outlined in your August 26th letter and in referral comments from other town departments. The following outlines our response to other points raised in the staff's comments: 1. Linhart, Peterson, Powers letter A response letter from 42/40 is attached. 2. Public Works Referral Comments A specific response to Public Works comments is attached. 3. Fire Department Referral Comments Truck turning movement studies at the entry to the project are attached. 4. Police Department Referral Comments As per our meeting of 8/30/04, no formal response to this referral is needed at this time. Police Department comments have been passed on to our design team for their consideration. 5. View Corridors As per our discussions, Winston and Associates is addressing view corridors #4 and #5 with the computer model they have prepared. Attached you will find material from Peak Land Consultants indicating that the building does not encroach into view corridor #2. Peak has done two things - they have attested to the accuracy of 42/40 site and floor plans that depict the eastern face of the building to be outside of the western line of the view plan and they have calculated the "base elevation" of the view corridor to be at 8,147.8' at the northern face of the one-story element opposite Garfinkles. 42/40 has indicated the roof/railing elevation at this location to be at 8,146.5', or 1.3' below the base of the view corridor. 6. Preliminary Plat As per our discussion, it was agreed that submittal of a preliminary plat is ciifficient at this time (in lien of a "complete major subdivision application) Edwards Village Center, Suite C-209 Ph. - 970.926.7575 0105 Edwards Village Boulevard Fax - 970.926.7576 Post Office Box 2658 www.braunassociates.com Edwards, Colorado 81632 o 0 Attached you will find a 5 copies of a preliminary subdivision plat for the Core Site. This plat consolidates a number of VR-owned parcels into two parcels - one for the ski yard and another for the building. In addition, this plat identifies Town of Vail owned land that is proposed to be conveved to VR. 7. Development Impacts Attached is a response to how this project complies with Section 12-7H-18. 8. Zoning Analysis Floor plans have been revised to indicate a breakdown of square footages, particularly how square footage relates to parking requirements. Site coverage and landscape calculations are also depicted. A revised zoning analysis and parking demand spreadsheet is also attached. 9. Condominium Rental Program An outline of incentives being considered by Vail Resorts to encourage individually owned condominiums (and lock-off units) to be participate in a rental pool is attached. 10. Traffic Analysis A revised traffic analysis is attached (2 copies). 11. Roof-top Mechanical plan Detailed roof-top mechanical information has been added to the roof plan (included in the attached entitlement set). In addition, rooftop equipment is depicted on relevant building elevations. I trust this information is sufficient for you to complete your review prior to the PEC's September 27`h. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments you may have. Sincerely, U Tom Braun, AICP CC: Jack Hunn, Dave Thorpe, VRDC Jay Peterson Robert Fitzgerald Encl. Revised Entitlement Plan set Grading Plan/Drainage Plan and Report View Corridor #2 exhibits Draft Preliminary Plat Revised Zoning/Parking Analysis Truck and Fire Truck Auto-Turn studies Response letter from 42/40, re: code consultants 0 0 Vail Resorts/Lionshead Core Site Hotel Mitigation of Development Impacts September 10, 2004 Section 12-7H-18 Property owners/developers shall also be responsible for mitigating direct impacts of their development on public infrastructure and in all cases mitigation shall bear a reasonable relation to the development impacts. Impacts may be determined based on reports prepared by qualified consultants. The extent of mitigation and public amenity improvements shall be balanced with the goals of redevelopment and will be determined by the planning and environmental commission in review of development projects and conditional use permits. Mitigation of impacts may include, but is not limited to, the following: roadway improvements, pedestrian walkway improvements, streetscape improvements, stream tract/bank improvements, public art improvements, and similar improvements. The intent of this section is to only require mitigation for large scale redevelopment/development projects which produce substantial off site impacts. (Ord. 3(1999) § 1) In response to this review criteria Vail Resorts has proposed a wide array of public benefits/improvements as a part of their redevelopment of the Core Site. These improvements go far beyond the realm of "mitigating direct impacts of their development on public infrastructure " to include improvements that will greatly enhance the physical character of Lionshead and also improve public infrastructure that is or will be in need of improvement even if the Core Site is not redeveloped. ■ New skier bridge, ■ Town Square to include a summer-time plaza and winter-time ice skating rink, ■ Public use of eight underground loading/delivery bays (and elevator), ■ Bike path improvements through the ski yard, ■ Sidewalk improvements and crosswalks (including snowmelt system) on Lionshead Place, ■ Walkway improvements (including snowmelt system) on the north side of Lionsquare Lodge, ■ Comprehensive streetscape improvements to the vast majority of the mall area to include snowmelt system, lighting, pop jet fountain, May Pole, gateway/entry features, seating, landscaping, signage, lighting, etc., ■ Employee housing to replace existing Sunbird Lodge units and new housing generated by the redevelopment, ■ Road improvements to Lionshead Place (including snowmelt system), ■ Participation in the Town's "informal" traffic impact fee program - funds to go toward improvements to Lionshead Circle intersections with Frontage Rd. ■ VR will fund $1,000,000 in public art in conjunction with the Core site development as set forth in the Developer Improvement Agreement. ■ Utility and drainage improvements throughout the Lionshead Mall area. • • Vail Resorts/Lionshead Core Site Hotel Condominium/Lock-off Rental Program Proposal September 10, 2004 The Core Site Hotel includes 36 hotel rooms, 70 condominium and 49 lock-off units for a total of 155 "keys". Vail Resorts shares the Town's interest in having as many of the condominium units and lock-off units as possible participate in the Hotel's rental program. As an indication of Vail Resort's motivation, it is noteworthy to consider how the hotel has been designed - the size of the meeting rooms, spa, lobby/greatroom, administrative offices, room service kitchen and hotel restaurant have all been designed to support 100+ "rental" units. It is not possible for Vail Resorts to require condominium owners to participate in a rental pool. In order to get as many units as possible into the rental program Vail Resorts has developed a number of ideas designed to encourage owners to do so. As currently envisioned the program is based on incentives and addresses both lock-off units and the main condominium unit. While the program is not finalized, the following outlines the range and type of incentives being considered: VR is currently reviewing specific aspects of this program, proposal to be provided next week. C•] 6 0 Vail Resorts/Lionshead Core Site Hotel Response to Public Works Comments September 10, 2004 Truck Turning Movements A revised auto-turn analysis has been completed for truck and fire truck movement through the mall area. Fire truck and delivery truck turning studies for the area around the port cochere and the Lionsquare Lodge parking lot and truck movements studies of the loading area have also been completed. 3 copies of these studies are provided. Load Dock Management Plan As stated on numerous occasions, VR will make the loading dock area available for public use to provide a dock (and elevator) for deliveries to surrounding properties. Eight bays are provided, one of which will accommodate a trash compactor/dumpster. The management of the loading dock will be handled by a "dock master" employed by VR. Public use of this loading facility will be subject to hourly use limitations as established by VR. It is understood that use restrictions will not be so onerous as to prevent the public's reasonable use of the facility. The Town's contribution toward the operating costs of this facility will be proportionate to the public's use and will be determined as an element of the Core Site Development Agreement. Grading Plan A preliminary grading and drainage plan for the Core Site and surrounding areas has been provided. Be advised that this plan is preliminary and may depict some minor discrepancies with how final grades will work. The preliminary plan does, however, demonstrate how grading will be accomplished. It is assumed that final grading will be done in conjunction with final design of the building and following input from Public Works. Streetscape/Gateway Arch The streetscape plans include a conceptual elevation of the proposed east portal to Lionshead. As suggested during our meeting on 9/3/04, this design could provide spaces for vertically hung banners thereby eliminating the conflict with horizontally hung banners. It is assumed that this is a DRB level issue. Special Events As discussed at our 9/3/04 meeting, in lieu of the applicant "guessing" as to the type, extent, etc. of possible special events, it was agreed that the town will solicit input from the Commission on Special Events regarding how special events could be accommodated in Lionshead. E • Easements VR is in agreement with providing easements in and around the Core Site. Easements will be provided for any public utility or public drainage improvement as may be necessary. In addition, public access easements will be established on the interior portions of the Core site. This public access easement will be non-exclusive and subject to reasonable limitations by VR. For example, the hotel may utilize the plaza in the interior courtyard for a special event which could (for a period of time), preclude public access on a portion of the easement area. It is assumed that easements will be an element of the DIA and that such easement will be defined and recorded after the buildings and improvements are constructed. Pocket Park/Fire Dept. Staging Area No changes are proposed to the fire department staging area within the pocket park. The proposed pop jet fountain will be on-grade with the mall and designed to allow a fire truck to drive over it. Sidewalks Revisions to sidewalk dimensions as discussed on the 3rd are depicted on the revised streetscape plans. Architectural Projections/Lights/etc. Building elevations and the streetscape plan will depict architectural projects. The streetscape plans will also depict the fire truck route through the mall. Given the level of design that we are at, it is not realistic that all projections can be defined at this time. However, it is understood that any possible future building projections not depicted at this time will need to conform to the fire truck route. Bike Path around Gondola Building The potential path along the south side of the Gondola Building has been looked at and is not included as an element of this application.

ARCHITECTURAL COMMENTS: Please consider the following architectural comments as preliminary because the submitted documents are preliminary. There will be additional architectural comments once the complete set of documents are received. 2. Please provide information as to the construction type and occupancy classification for all adjacent buildings. The purpose of this is to verify if this new structure in its present location will adversely affect any allowable area provisions for any existing buildings due to IBC sprinkler and yard increases. Please identify all buildings and provide an area analysis for each verifying that the yard used for this new building will not affect allowable building area of any existing structure. It is our interpretation that no adjacent buildings will be adversely affected by this building. We have identified a `fire separation distance' on Sheet A 031 that is defined in the IBC as "The distance measured from the building face to the closest interior lot line, to the centerline of a street, alley or public way, or to an imaginary line between two buildings on the lot. The distance shall be measured at right angles from the face of the wall." A fire separation boundary generated from this definition is not dependent on building mass, area, or wall location relative to the property line. Any adjoining building would use the same boundary to determine fire separation distances for any future alterations or additions, and would be bound to the same area, construction type, window opening and occupancy options (all influenced by fire separation criteria) that apply to this building. It is our understanding that sprinkler and yard increases for adjoining buildings would be the same with or without this building. 9. Please s pecify which hotels a nd condominium units will be a type A & B dwelling and sleeping units. The actual number and location of condominium and hotel Type A and Type B units will be determined once the client finalizes unique room management options between the hotel and condominiums which have a direct bearing on accessibility scope requirements. It is anticipated that the requested information will be fully documented by the time the project is issued for permit review. 10. Sheet A004: At Code Notes IIG, allowable building area not including allowable frontage area increase is shown as 432,000 square feet. Please provide the following: A. Gross Building Area is shown on Overall Building Area Summary as 542,441 sq. ft. which exceeds the 43,000 sq. ft. allowable. Please review. IBC 503.1 and Equation 5-1 Lionshead FiJeview of Preliminary Documents Vail Colorado LP2A Job No.: 2040114.001 August 6, 2004 Page 3 C B. The 542,441 sq. ft Gross Building Area is shown "exclusive of the Lionshead Center'. Please confirm location of the Lionshead Center so that it is not required to be included in area calculations. The client intends to build tenant improvements under separate approval and permit processes in space that they own at the adjoining Lionshead Center Building. C. The 432,000 sq. feet calculated allowable area is based on multiplying allowable area at one floor 144,000 s.f. by 3 for buildings of three of more stories in height per IBC 506.4.3. The 432,000 sq. ft. allowable area may be further increased as IBC 506.4 states that the maximum area of a building equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system is determined by multiplying the allowable area per floor by the number of stories. Please see a separate "Allowable Building Area Calculation Worksheet" dated April 28, 2004. This has been reviewed in a previous meeting with the Building Department and, barring unforeseen error, confirms that the gross area and height of the building are within limits established for its building type. The wording on Sheet A004 referenced above will be clarified when reissued for permit. 14. Sheet A011 Overall Site Plan and A012 Site Plan Enlarged Area: Please clarify on this drawing the location of the property lines shown on the drawings. Clearly show the property lines as they refer to the proposed buildings. Many of the property lines run through the buildings in the project. Are these property lines abandoned? Are they merged? Are there lot agreements to allow the full yard for yard increases filed as a " No Build Easement" so yards can be reciprocally used for all existing and new buildings. Indicate if these property lines are adjusted for the new structures and verify that City of Vail has reviewed and approved property line adjustments. Property lines will be adjusted as required for the project. The client is in the process of filing a resubdivision plat for the entire project with the Town of Vail that will address the concerns listed above. Information from the new plat will be incorporated into the permit documents as the Town approves them. 15. Exit Diagrams, Sheets A020.1 through A023: Amend exit diagrams. On all floor levels provide a complete exiting plan that will clearly show the designed exiting path from each area room and occupancy, the travel distance taken to gain access to any means of egress component and the total occupant load for each exit path of travel. A. The exit diagrams are not complete. Please complete the exit diagrams as follows: a. For all of the areas, indicate the occupant loads. b. Provide exiting diagrams for Levels 4, 5, 6, and 7. B. To determine adequacy of means of egress, please indicate on the drawings the path of egress travel from each space. C. For stairways, doors and other egress components along path of egress travel, indicate (1) the occupants served and the required minimum egress width based on Lionshead Fir view of Preliminary Documents 1%W J Vail Colorado LP2A Job No.: 2040114.001 August 6, 2004 Page 4 IBC Table 1005.1 (0.2 inches per occupant for stairways and 0.15 inches per occupant for other egress components). I ndicate that the provided widths meet required widths. D. On exit diagrams, please indicate maximum length of exit access travel. Confirm on the drawings that the distance measured from the most remote point within a story to the entrance to an exit along the natural and unobstructed path of egress travel, does not exceed the following distances: a. From IBC Table 1004.2.4. For A, M, R and S-1: 250 feet. B. 300 feet S-2 400 feet b. Per IBC 1013.3, indicate on drawings that the path of egress travel shall not exceed 75 feet (For B and S occupancies not more than 100 feet with fire sprinklered building). Per IBC 1002, common path of egress travel is that portion of exit access which the occupants are required to traverse before two separate and distinct paths of egress travel to two exits are available. E. Show occupant load for all areas and confirm number of exits required. Two exits are required if over 50 occupants pr IBC Table 1014.1. If two exits are required, show that exit doors or exit access doorways are to be not less than one-third of the length of the maximum overall diagonal dimension of the area per IBC 1014.2.1. F. The drawings show required fire rated systems. Please also include fire resistive ratings for the following: a. Please also indicate location of mechanical shafts and fire rating requirements for shafts. IBC 707 b. Indicate fire resistive rating for exterior walls. IBC Tables 601 and 602. G.

Please show the exit discharge from termination of an exit to the public way per IBC 1002. The site drawings shows a road around the project. Please describe this road as a component of the exit discharge and show the exit discharge extending to the pubic way. Identify the public ways on the site plan. All components of the exit discharge will be identified as requested on the permit drawings. 19. Sheet A020.2- Exit Diagram - Level G1: Lionshead Fir ,view of Preliminary Documents Vail Colorado LP2A Job No.: 2040114.001 August 6, 2004 Page 5 On Sheet A022 stairway 5 at level 2 provides the exit discharge from the floors below and above. This converging stair must be capable of an exit width of the combined occupant load f rom highest occupant load f rom b elow and above. Please p rovide this occupant loading for this level and verify that the egress door is sufficient to accommodate the combined load of both levels. Section 1004.5 IBC The requested information will be supplied on drawings issued for permit. 21. Sheet A021, Exit Diagram - Level 1: A. Amend plans to include occupant load for outdoor area per IBC 1004.8. Include outdoor area occupant load in providing means of egress. Please specify the intended use of the common area and provide the designed exiting locations and sizes. Please provide the accessible route of travel to show how all occupants within this common area gain access to the public way. Per a meeting with the building department on August 26, 2004, occupant load exiting from the building into the (accessible) outdoor area in question will be identified on the permit drawings. B. At the east and west exits from the central court are tunnels leading from the court to the public way. These tunnels are enclosed by the next level above. As the court appears to be a components of exit discharge per IBC 1023.5, the exit discharge cannot re-enter the building (IBC 1023.1) and must provide a direct and unobstructed access to a public way (IBC 1023.6). Please review design of these tunnels and indicate how they conform with components of means of 'fir egress. Please review whether the tunnels should be classified as exit passageways which are used to provide protected path of egress travel to the exit discharge or the public way (IBC 1002). For exit passageways, conform with IBC 1020.2 width, 1020.3 construction, 1020.4 openings and penetrations, 1020.5 penetrations. Per a meeting with the building department on August 26, 2004, a permanent egress easement will be established for the outdoor area in question. Means of egress components will be identified in the easement and on drawings issued for permit. C. The two 6' (gates?) both exceed the maximum door width of 48" and are swing opposite the egress path of travel from the enclosed court. Section 1008.1.1 IBC. The gates will be corrected on the permit drawings as noted above. D. Please clarify construction for stairway 9 at this level. It appears that the upper levels indicate this to be a 2-hout fire barrier wall. This floor indicated a 1-hour fire barrier wall. Please clarify this. E. Please fill out all missing information as to the occupancy classifications and square footages w ithin the blocks p rovided. P lease s pecify o n this s heet the p roposed designed exiting system so that verification can be made. F. Please identify the extent of all occupancies so that verification of square footage can be made to establish occupancy and exiting requirements. *AW G. Please clarify the extent of the exit enclosure construction from stairway 7 that discharges into what appears to be a 0-rated corridor. Since the exit enclosure is Lionshead Fiview of Preliminary Documents Vail Colorado LP2A Job No.: 2040114.001 August 6, 2004 Page 6 rated for 2-hours, the full extent of the horizontal extension of the vertical enclosure shall be rated the same until discharge from the building is provided. Please clarify this at Service corridor 149 (not identified this sheet) H. At the Ski Club, Fitness Room, SPA, SPA Retail area, please show the path of egress travel indicating required number of exits, occupant loads and egress width requirements. At Stair 33 S133 which ascends up to Level 1, please review how stairs penetrate the 2-hour fire barrier separating Hotel Lobby fro Hotel Restaurant. 25. Sheet A031, Perimeter Analysis Plan: A. Please on drawings the description of "Fire Separation Line". Confirm whether it is the "assumed property line" in IBC 704.3. Per IBC 704.3, for the purpose of determining the required wall and opening protection and roof-covering requirements, buildings on the same lot shall be assumed to have an imaginary line between them. The fire separation line between the EagleBahn Gondola and the proposed building is the assumed property (imaginary) line; since the client owns both tracts of land at that that location. It is our interpretation that this term is synonymous with the fire separation line. Other fire separation lines conform to the definition referenced in item number 2 above. 9W B. In the drawings the fire separation lines are located between the subject buildings and the adjacent existing buildings. For the adjacent existing buildings, based on the distance shown to the assumed property line, the occupancy group, and the type of constriction please show on the drawings complete information to confirm that the existing buildings conform with exterior wall fire-rating (IBC Table 602), exterior opening limitations (IBC Table 704.8), parapet (IBC 704.11) and allowable area frontage increase (IBC 506.2) requirements. Please see response to item number 2 above. C. On the drawings are property lines though the buildings and through the site. Please confirm how these real property lines are addressed in the building design and the perimeter analysis. Also, explain how these real property lines relate to the fire separation lines. The IBC has specific limiting requirements based on the real property lines. Please review and clarify. Please see response to item number 2 above. D. At Zone 7, show perimeter analysis based on the portion of the south side of the building which is less than 10'-3" from the fire separation line. Show this dimension on the drawings. It is intended that the only portion of the building closer than this dimension to the fire separation line at this location is an exterior egress stair not governed by exterior wall opening criteria. E. A "No-Building Easement" is noted stating that it is to be negotiated. Please confirm whether the easement has been property executed as required for this project. Lionshead Vail Colorado August 6, 2004 Firview of Preliminary Documents LP2A Job No.: 2040114.001 Page 7 Easements are in the process of negotiation and are anticipated to be complete by the time permit drawings are submitted.

Show any required connections between new and existing. G. Indicate how the Gondola tunnel is addressed in Perimeter Analysis on Sheet A031 showing how distances from real and assumed property lines are addressed, how crossing over property lines are addressed, whether the Gondola building is included in allowable area calculations on Sheet A004. It is intended that the tunnel conform to all the requirements of IBC Section 3104 `Pedestrain Walkways arnd Tunnels', which allows for such a connection between buildings. As noted in Section 3104.1, "The pedestrian walkway shall not contribute to the building area or the number of stories or height of connected buildings." 43. Sheet A111 E - floor Plan - Partial First Level. A. The skating rink has a total occupant load that is 104 and will require access to two means of egress gates. Please specify the location where these gates will be provided within the guard railing. The requested information will be supplied on drawings issued for permit. B.

Pleas provide an elevation showing details from the north view of the Ice rink at the exterior wall next to the mechanical areas shown on the plans sheet. 44. Sheet Al 12A - Second Level Floor Plan - Area A: A. All three condo's have travel distances that exceed 75' in length to a point 2 where access to two means of egress is provide. Because there is only one exit enclosure provided the point where access to two means of egress which is provided from Condos 2G & F the point is within the corridor past the door to the exit enclosure. Please clarify the travel distance for all condos on this floor and show the location where the most remote point within the unit (patio area) will meet the required travel distances as specified in Section 1013.3 IBC. See plan sheets A161; 162 & 163. Condominium egress issues will be reviewed in further detail with the building department on September 9, 2004. Plans submitted for permit will be modified as required to conform to building department requirements. B. The corridor P225 extends more than 26" past the entrance to the exit enclosure and is considered a dead end corridor per Section 1016.3 IBC. C. Please revise the curved exterior stairway 29 to provide for a legal stairway width where the stairway turns to the side at the bottom of the stairway at grade. Section 1009.1 & 1005.1 IBC. A curved stairway may be a better alternative to what is shown on the plans. D. This floor requires access to two means of egress. The exit design as shown allows the second means of egress to go up one flight to the third story, access to the corridor system there and to an exit enclosure that provides access back down to grade. This type of exiting is usually not done this way. Verification from the building and fire districts will need to have concurrence regarding this proposed design. Condominium egress issues will be reviewed in further detail with the building department on September 9, 2004. Plans submitted for permit will be modified as required to conform to building department requirements. E. Please include a handrail at the point where the stairway treads changes directions. See stairway lower right side this sheet. F. Please specify on all plans sheets the direction each stairway and ramp travels (up or down) for clarity. G.

Box 2658 Edwards, Colorado 81632 RE: Town of Vail Design Review Board Comments - 9/01/2004 Dear Tom: Thank you for appearing before the Town of Vail Design Review Board on Wednesday, September I" to present the proposed variations to the architectural design guidelines prescribed in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan for the Core Site Hotel. Following discussion of your request, the Board tabled the final decision until the September 15th public hearing of the Design Review Board. The Board did however generally approve of the proposed variations with the exception of the following three areas of variation 1. Flat roof area - The Board recommended that additional study be taken on how the proposed amount of flat roof area can be lessened. The Board also requested that a view analysis be presented at the public hearing on September 15th to better understand the visual impacts of the flat roof as seen from Vail Mountain and as contemplated in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. In addressing this issue special attention should also be given to the placement and screening of roof-top mechanical equipment. 2. Horizontal wall spans - The architectural design guidelines regulate the amount of horizontal wall spans and requires variations in massing or height, material, fenestration, or color. Upon considering your request to vary from this guideline along the base level of the building adjacent to the Lions Square Lodge, the Board recommended that the proposed variation should not be approved. Therefore, please review the guideline as stated in Section 8.4.2.4 and make revisions as necessary to fully comply with the guidelines. 3. Stepbacks and initial eave heights - The Board recommended that further revisions to the west elevation and the portion of the east elevation adjacent to Garfinkel's be made to address vertical variety and articulation of mass on the building. With the exception of these two elevations, the Board approved of the stepbacks and initial eave height variations proposed for all other elevations. To comply with this recommendation, the Board suggested that additional square footage be added to the building.

We feel that a great amount of effort went into the creation of the Lionshead Masterplan, and the current Vail Resorts plan as presented ties closely to the Masterplan. The redevelopment of Lionshead is critical to our future. This is an opportunity that should not be missed, and Lion Square Lodge is very optimistic that the Core Site improvements will revitalize the entire neighborhood. Subject to the following conditions, we support the design, architecture and site plan layout, and support the earliest possible commencement of the project. The three Associations at Lion Square Lodge (LSL) have identified outstanding issues that we have been focusing on with Vail Resorts (VR). These issues are currently being negotiated in a cooperative and productive manner. VR and our Boards will be meeting extensively over the weekend of October 1 in an effort to come to an agreement.

Box 2658 Edwards, Colorado 81632 RE: Town of Vail Design Review Board Comments -10/20/2004 Dear Tom: Thank you for appearing before the Town of Vail Design Review Board on Wednesday, October 20a' to present the proposed architectural plans for the Lionshead Core Site Hotel. Following discussion of your request, the Board tabled the final decision until the October 20`h public hearing of the Design Review Board. The Board did however generally approve of the proposed architectural design of the hotel. The following is a list of the Board's comments: • The Design Review Board the quality of the architecture and the design of the hotel to carry around the building to all "34" facades proposed. Differences in quality or design approach will not be approved. • Integrate more indigenous construction materials is necessary (stone, stucco, wood, etc.) A study of different locations and opportunities should be undertaken and then identified on a revised set of plans. • A less formal stone application is needed in various locations around the building. As proposed the stone application is too formal to comply with the design guidelines. • The proposed overhangs around the building should vary in depth. The proposed design is too uniform and consistent. Deeper overhangs in strategic locations are the goal. • The exterior building colors should vary on the three-dimensional elements (bays, cantilevers, etc.) of the hotel. • Wood siding should be added to strategic locations around the building as discussed at the meeting. • Variations to the dormer sizes and styles should be considered. Some dormers may be "hidden" into the roof with the creative use of siding materials. • The roof color shall be a blend of colors. Uniformity shall be avoided. • Variations to the stucco application and texture should be considered to add variety to the exterior wall surfaces. • Use the stucco colors presented on your color boards and not those colors shown on the computer renderings. • Consider making the stone application at the entry portals less formal and more consistent with stone applications already used around Town. The skier bridge is a good example. • The design of the exteriors above the pedestrian/street level should be slightly less formal. • Differing window styles and treatments should be considered to add differentiation and variety. • Consider a less industrial and more traditional style to the cat walk bridge. The new skier bridge is a good example. RECYCLED PAPER Department of Community Development 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2138 e • • Pursuant to the approvals granted by the Town for the Eagle Balm Gondola, please propose a new stone base treatment to the terminal building which ties into the new Core Site Hotel. Again, I will need to see revised drawings by no later than 5:00 pm, Thursday, October 28`' in order to remain on the agenda for the November 3`d meeting of the Design Review Board. If you have any questions or concerns with regard to the information addressed in this letter, please do not hesitate to call. You can reach me most easily at 479-2145.
